getting the average..
 

what formulas would i use to get and accurate average from a column? we
will say column c20:c31. I would like to skip any value that is not
greater then zero.

ex: 25 I would like that range to show an average of 75... What i
am
125 getting is 30..
0
0 ps- the zero's will change later to actual values so i
would like to
0 formulas to count them if they change from 0 to a number.

Try this:

=AVERAGE(IF(YourRange0,YourRange))

This is an array function and should be committed with ctrl+shift+enter
(not just enter)

That didn't work.. lets explain it this way, I want the average from
c20:c31 excluding #DIV/0! .

This is what i see,
ex: 100,200,#DIV/0!,#DIV/0!,#DIV/0!,#DIV/0!

The answer i am getting currently is #DIV/0! . the answer i want is
150.

=average(if(isnumber(c20:c31),c20:c31))

This is an array formula. Hit ctrl-shift-enter instead of enter. If you do it
correctly, excel will wrap curly brackets {} around your formula. (don't type
them yourself.)

Adjust the range to match--but you can't use the whole column

or maybe...

=if(count(c2:c31)=0,"No Numbers",average(if(isnumber(c20:c31),c20:c31)))
(still array entered)
